The chlorine usually forms a Chloride ion.

The Chlorine gains an electron leaving it 17 protons and 18 electrons. Since it has 1 more electron than protons, chlorine has a charge of −1, making it a negative ion. When ions form, atoms gain or lose electrons until their outer energy level is full.

What do you mean by Chlorine forming an ion?

Chlorine has one electron when it forms an ion to be an anion with a charge of -1. The charge of an ion, and thus the number of electrons the atom will gain or lose. If an atom has less than four valence electrons, it will lose them to become a cation.

The chloride ion is the anion Cl− which is formed facilitating important chemical reactions coupled with its usage in the everyday world.

As a person BAC level increase it becomes difficult for them to judge their vehicle distances and speed

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The blood alcohol content is also known as the blood alcohol level or the blood alcohol concentration. It is defined as the measurement of the alcohol intoxication in the body and is used for the legal or the medical purposes.

When the BAC increases in the person's body, the person started to loose clear vision, loss of short term memory, poor muscle coordination, impaired perception and face difficulty in concentrating. Thus it becomes very difficult for a person to drive a car or ride a bike whose BAC has increased.

The driver cannot properly judge the distances between the vehicle and the speed of the vehicle.

Hence the answer is TRUE.

You are given the following three half-reactions:(1) Fe³⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇄ Fe²⁺(aq) (2) Fe²⁺(aq) +2e⁻ ⇄ Fe(s) (3) Fe³⁺(aq) +3e⁻ ⇄ Fe(s

RideAnS [48]

The E°half-cell of the (3) is 0.33 volts .

Given,

(1) Fe3+(aq) +e =Fe2+(aq)

(2) Fe2+(aq) +2e = Fe(s)

(3) Fe3+(aq) +3e = Fe(s)

We know ,

E° half-cell of (1) is 0.77 volts .

E° half cell of ( 2) is -0.44 volts .

By resolving or adding equation 1 and 2 we will get (3) ,

Thus , the value of the E° half cell of (3) is given by ,

E°cell = E° half-cell of (1 ) + E° half-cell of (2 ) = 0.77-0.44 = 0.33 volts

Hence the E° half-cell of ( 3 ) is 0.33 volts .

<h3>What is cell potential? </h3>

It is the difference between the electrode potentials of two half cells.

it also defined as the force which causes the flow of electrons from one electrode to the another and thus results in the flow of current.

Ecell = E( cathode) - E ( anode)

<h3>What is electrode potential ? </h3>

The tendency of the electrode to lose of gain electrons is called as electrode potential.

When the following solutions are mixed together, what precipitate (if any) will form? a. FeSO4(aq) 1 KCl(aq) b. Al(NO3)3(aq) 1 B

noname [10]

Answer: Precipitates form only in (b) (c) and (d) and these are $Al(OH)_3$ , $CaSO_4$ and NiS respectively.

Explanation: (a) The reaction will be:

$FeSO_4(aq)+2KCl(aq)\rightarrow FeCl_2(aq)+K_2SO_4(aq)$

The reaction will not take place as both the products are soluble and so no precipitate will form.

(b) The reaction will be:

$2Al(NO_3)_3(aq)+3Ba(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 3Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+2Al(OH)_3(s)$

This reaction will take place as aluminum hydroxide is insoluble. So, the precipitate formed in this reaction is $Al(OH)_3$ .

$CaCl_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2NaCl(aq)+CaSO_4(s)$

This reaction will take place as a precipitate of calcium sulfate(slightly soluble) will form.

(d) The reaction will be:

$K_2S(aq)+Ni(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+NiS(s)$

This reaction will take place as NiS is insoluble. So, the precipitate formed in this reaction is NiS.
